What's a GMAT? Edible? (lol.)
GMAT gauge skills that are essential to study business and management at the graduate level, a GMAT scores will give you a good indication of how well prepared you are to succeed academically in a graduate management programme; how well you do on the test may also help you choose the business schools to which you apply.
At first, I thought GMAT was a walk in the park. Oh, boy was I wrong. GMAT felt like rocket science to me.
How to defeat this rocket science? Manhattan Prep books.
I downloaded the books a few days ago and they are extremely helpful if you're an independent candidate like me. The Prep books definitely helped increased my scores to 600++.
With the pace that I'm going, 760 marks aren't that far.
GMAT is the acronym for Graduate Management Admission Test. It is a standardised, three-part test delivered in English, designed to help admission officer to evaluate the suitability of an individual's application for his/her business and management programmes.
It measures basic verbal, arithmetic and analytical writing skills that a candidate developed over a period of time through education and work.

GMAT is not popular amongst Malaysians; many do not know of its existence as a test required for admissions to many top business schools around the globe.
Its existence was only made known to me when I was researching about the various MBA programmes offered by top business schools.
For those of you who read my About page would know that I am a lawyer currently practising in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I took Law as a major for my undergraduate degree and went on to take my professional degree to do my pupillage in a middle size firm.
I was then admitted as an Advocates and Solicitors of the High Court of Malaysia as of March 2015 and have been practising as a lawyer specialising in general litigation since then.

My education and work journey thus far: " Purely legal; nothing business.". This would mean that I'm an unconventional candidate.
I went on to research the importance of a GMAT. To my surprise, it plays an important role in the admission of a candidate to an MBA programme in universities.
GMAT is taken as a benchmark for admission officers to determine the suitability of a candidate for business and managements programmes.
So, I decided in July 2015 to prepare my GMAT and to apply for business schools once I get my desired scores next year.
It is always my dream to do MBA in an Ivy League or a top university abroad. I'm going to realise this dream of mine into a reality.
